OH, this one touches me more than any baby portrait or wedding picture. I have no critiques. Just praise. The mom will LOVE it.  I love it!

nice work on the restoration, but is there a reason why you removed the image data from the top right corner (looks like some sort of straps, or maybe ribbon from a gift)?

I'm curious what people's opinions are on this - when restoring a photo, is it our job to return the photo as close to the original as possible, or should we use 'artistic liscense' to get rid of unnecessary image information, thus making a more artistically composed photograph?

I think what you're referring to as "straps" or "ribbons" in the upper right  are water damage marks which I removed, it might be hard to tell from the smaller images, those types of swirls were pretty abundant in that area of the photo
